The Intimate Apparel Journal announced the launch of its July 2016 issue. The main focus of the journal is to provide information on the technical, supply chain and sustainability issues that affect the industry.  Here is a brief example, of what you can find.
IAJ's mission is to make the journal an invaluable tool for the intimate apparel industry for learning, training, sharing and assisting one another.

IAJ is issued 4 times a year, and is available in two versions: flip page and pdf. It is also distributed to select educational institutions for the use of students of fashion design and production.
 

The July 2016 issue of IAJ includes the following articles and much more: 
  • From Prints to Pixels by Luis Paredes
     
    Through Luis's writing we learn that he started in journalism and that his motto is"inform and inspire." I hope we can work closely with him in the future and carry more of his fashion reports and well-reported stories. 
  • Minimiser Bras by David Morris
     
    What constitutes a minimizer bra? It creates an effect that can reduce the full breast measurement by 1". It's unusual to have this information, especially since the bra is only available in the U.S. and UK, and only carried by major brands.
